In the tradition of Mel Brooks, a spinoff on the Star Wars Drinking Game known
as...
THE SPACEBALLS DRINKING GAME!!!
To play the Spaceballs Drinking Game you will need:
1. A copy of Spaceballs on tape
2. An ample supply of your favorite beverage (beer, orange soda, whatever)
3. A big-screen TV so you can see all the tiny gags you'd miss otherwise
(optional but funky)
Rules:
1. The game begins when the word SPACEBALLS is first legible at the start of
the movie and ends when MAY THE SCHWARTZ BE WITH YOU appears at the end.
2. Once the game has begun, watch the movie for the listed events. Each time
an event occurs everyone drinks.
3. No need to worry about people successfully operating the VCR since it's
only one tape (if you taped it off the air in such a way that you have it on
two tapes, you don't need to play the Spaceballs drinking game in the first
place)
